The Relationship Between Cities With a Population of Around 250k or Greater and Their Total Crime

Project Objective

To investigate the relationship between cities with a population of aroudn 250k or greater and their total crime rates

Step 1: Install and load required libraries

Load the packages

library(ggplot2)
library(readxl)
library(ggpubr)
library(gclus)
## Loading required package: cluster
theme_set(theme_pubr())

Load data

crime_data <- read.csv("crime_250_plus.csv")

Clean the data

crime_data <- na.omit(crime_data)
summary(crime_data)

Step 2: Linear Regression for Population vs. Total Crime

lmtotal_crime = lm(population~total_crime, data = crime_data)
summary(lmtotal_crime)

## Call:
## lm(formula = population ~ total_crime, data = crime_data)
